Simple Business Ideas To Start With As A Student
By Kemi Mobuse - Friday, March 11, 2016
Thinking
of how to be an entrepreneur even while in school?
Quick thoughts
for finding your dream gig
- Do some research: what do
people need or want?
- If you could provide or
invent something that would make life easier, better, safer, fairer or
cheaper, what would it be?
- What are you really good
at or love doing? Start with that!
- Or think about what
ventures might support your degree course or future ideal career.
Some of these
startup suggestions include
- Sell alternative quiet
snacks – stomach rumblers will pay to avoid the embarrassment of rustling
in lectures and the cinema.
- Start a YouTube channel and
earn a slice of the ad revenue. It could be reviews or guides related to
your course subject, or pick any topic that really fascinates you (games,
comedy and music do particularly well). As well as running advertising or
blagging freebies, down the line you could stream pay-per-view vids if you
get enough subscribers.
- Create audio walking tours
of your local area, recommending everything from hotels, museums, events,
restaurants and bars. Do deals with local businesses who pay to feature,
and upload your files to sites like iTunes and Soundcloud for instant
reach.
- Start a magazine about
your uni subject and get other students, tutors and guest experts to write
for it too. The money might not be huge but your employability definitely
will be.
- Run a ‘you want it, I get
it’ delivery service. Evenings and weekends could see you delivering
McDonald’s/beer combos, while early mornings could be coffees, newspapers
or train tickets. Or just see what everyday things people run out of and
buy in bulk (midnight loo roll’s got to be a winner, right?)
- Freelance.
Whether it’s related to your current course or your dream career, offer
your skills to peeps who need web design, illustration, writing or admin
support. You’ll get CV-plumping experience to boot, too.
- Offer a CV design or
review service.
